This release updates our OpenJDK 8 support with the April 2017 security fixes from OpenJDK 8 u131.

We also add support for building using the AArch32 HotSpot port. This is now
the default on arm[32], which should lead to significant performance increases over the previous default Zero assembler build.

AArch64 also gets some love, with support for this architecture in the Shenandoah HotSpot build (PR3297) and the SystemTap JDK tapsets (PR3340).

Full build requirements and instructions are available in the INSTALL file.

Happy hacking!

This release updates our OpenJDK 8 support with the October 2016 bug fixes from OpenJDK 8 u112 and the January 2017 security fixes from OpenJDK 8 u121.

The ‘infinality’ feature has been improved and is now known as ‘improved font rendering’. It no longer requires a patched FreeType and we intend to enable it by default from IcedTea 3.4.0 onwards.

We also make the build a little easier on some platforms by removing the requirement for wget to be installed if downloading is disabled,
and supporting older Kerberos installations which don’t use pkg-config. We also add support for picking up the strangely named JVM installation locations on RHEL 6 multilib platforms.
